Increase DHCP LeaseTime setting?
Hi, Where can I find this setting to increase DHCP Leasetime? This simple setting it seems its not include in the firmware? Why is that? This is a basic setting that should in the firmware.
I dont have DNS issue on my R7000, I just want to de-crease the DHCP lease time to 1 hour instead of 24H.
So how can I this achieve this?

Why?
When trying to fix problems, it is usually a good idea to start with a description of the destination you want to reach rather than running up here with questions about how to get there. That avoids the risk of getting the "If I wanted to get there, I wouldn't start from here" answer to that old joke about someone asking a stranger for directions.
So far you have simply restated the original question several times. Is there any reason why you don't want to answer the question that schumaku and microchip8 have asked.
If you can answer the "why?" question, they may be able to offer suggestions on how to achieve whatever it is that you want to do.
Okay,
I want to de-crease the DHCP Lease time because of the guest network I want a shorter lease time periode of 8Hours.
That's why. So don't discuss with me ''Thats not need it, Etc. Etc. ''
This is a option what I want for guest network a shorter lease time periode.
So why is this basic-option not availble for us? While other brands have this option. I was on different brands have this option.
So tell me now how to achieve this?- As I mentioned in my very first post, there is no option to control the lease time. It has been requested long ago but NG appears not to be willing to add it.
Also, in your OP post, you want to increase the lease time but now you want to decrease it. Which one is it?- I see.
Never know that this a thing on Netgear products.
It doesn't matter which I want, the only thing I want is the control over it. In my guest network I want to de-crease the DHCP lease time and in my other router I want to increase the lease time.
So again it doesn't matter which one I suggest, I need both to increase and to de-crease it in the other product...
I was hoping that this was a bug or a feature that was forgotten, but now I read more that Netgear is not giving the control to their customers.
